I’ve followed Tara’s teams since I was a college b-ball player in the 80’s (and when she had an 80-0 record with the Olympic team) and I just love what she does. Her teams are always powerfully athletic, tough, and a real community. They’re like a tribe of latter day Amazons. I’ve now had the chance to take classes with one of her former players and she’s every bit the person she appeared to be from afar. Love it.

And aside from that, I just can’t help but feel some glee (ok, a lot of glee) that a team (albeit a great one and I do appreciate the players) coached by a man was beaten by a team coached by a dyke!!
